Because of Netflix's announcement that the reality dating show will be part of the streaming app's lineup, fans poked fun at the news, commenting that they're just making any show a reality show at this point!
"They just be making anything a reality show omg" - a fan said (via X/@positionsmafiaa)
Fans also hilariously shared one of the show's iconic moments, where a shirtless dude just walked in, and all the girls popped their balloons! If Netflix doesn’t add these queens to their own spin of the show, then they might as well not make it! (via X/@aidan7501)
Other fans are also excited that PTB will be on Netflix, commenting that they'll binge-watch the show while eating popcorn.
"Pop the Balloon live? Gimme the popcorn, this is going to be wild!" - another fan replied (via X/@horejsiii)

While some fans are excited that PTB will be on Netflix, others are skeptical, stating that it will become fake AF and scripted, making the show less authentic than it was on YouTube!
"We lost. we want authentication not fake stuff for ratings." - another fan added (via X/@RogerNika)
X users also clowned the streaming app, joking that this is the sign they will cancel their subscription to the streaming giant.
"This is enough to make me cancel my subscription." - an X user reacted (via X/@cupckebatter)
Other X users also hilariously requested that Arlette Amuli be the host of the Netflix version of Pop The Balloon because she's shady and funny AF as the host of the show!
"And they better have our shady good sis Arlette as host!" - another X user remarked (via X/@FamousCecee)
And finally, X users CANNOT WAIT for PTB to be on Netflix because they are pretty sure that it's still gonna be savage even if it's on the streaming app! (via X/@23Bennyp)
What's the premise of Pop The Balloon?
If it's your first time hearing about Pop The Balloon, allow us to explain it to you!
The YouTube reality dating show Pop The Balloon has a simple premise: If you're the searcher looking for "the one," you'll introduce yourself and tell your story. If the searchees holding balloons don’t like you, they have the option to pop their balloons. If you're a searcher and no one pops their balloon for you, you also have the option to pop someone else's balloon if you feel like you're not vibing with them.
In Netflix's case, of course, they will make some adjustments once they release the show on their app, making it more fun, full of twists, and packed with more drama than ever!
